Creazione lezione...
1
Do you guys go to the gym?
2
I go to the gym.
3
But you already knew that.
4
But I don't think I'll ever be as buff as this kangaroo.
5
Look at that.
6
Oh my god!
7
He's like an alien.
8
Holy shit!
9
Like he is jacked!
10
Like has he been stacking?
11
Do you even lift, bruh?
12
Yes, I'm intimidated.
13
I feel like he's about to kick my ass like like yo, bro I'll rip your head off
14
and stuff it in my pouch like a trophy motherfucker now
15
the version you guys sent me only has 12,000 views so unless there's another copy out there.
16
I think And I don't blame the cameraman for laughing his ass off me.
17
How do you even get this buff?
18
Yeah?
19
I've been bench-pressing koala bears all day.
20
You know I typically eat plants and berries, but no trans fats You know, can you spot me?
21
You know, it even seems like he's looking for an excuse to flex like, Yep, you should check out the other exhibits over there.
22
So this next video is great.
23
It's really squirrel.
24
So this is someone's pet squirrel trying to bury a nut in a dog's fur.
25
Oh, I have nothing to say about this other than it's fucking good.
26
And like, it is cute, but he makes a serious attempt to cover up that nut.
27
No, no one will think to look here.
28
So I found this over on a blog I read sometimes called io9, and it has four million views, damn!
29
So it's blowing up.
30
And why do they have a pet squirrel?
31
And like, why isn't that dog murdering that squirrel?
32
Look, I'm not saying the dog should murder the squirrel, it's just, all right, I have four cats, and when they see a squirrel, they're like, Mooooooow.
33
And if you look at the dog, the dog just couldn't be more apathetic.
34
I mean, he just doesn't care.
35
He's like, you know all those fucks I have to give?
36
I buried him in the backyard.
37
And if you're curious how the video ends, it looks like the squirrel ends up hiding his nuts in the laundry basket.
38
Now high speed chases will never not be exciting, but this is the first time I've ever seen one where the cop was actually wearing a camera.
39
Now this cop's actually not a traditional cop, he's apparently part of the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, so if you're thinking about fishing without a permit, he will fuck you up.
40
It's unfortunately funny when the officer catches the suspect, who appears to be a total meth head.
41
Now this whole scene apparently went down back in August of 2012, and it's just now blowing up.
42
Either that or it's an elaborate commercial for Google Glass.
43
See to me, this is like the real-life Breaking Bad.
44
People fantasize about living this Breaking Bad life, but in reality, that's what the real Jesse Pinkman would look like.
45
Now there's a lot of contention about how the officer handled the arrest after the suspect got out of the car, but you know, if you're on meth driving on the wrong side of the highway endangering lives,
46
I'd say getting cursed at with a gun stuck to your neck, it's a possibility.
47
You know, I gotta feel bad for the guy, but it's like that with 80% of the videos that you send me.
48
It's like, I feel bad for the person, but at the same time, I'm like, dude, what the fuck were you thinking?
49
See, now this guy, he's busted, he's gonna go to jail.
50
This'll probably be his cellmate.
51
Do you even fuck, bro?
52
And you know what else?
53
After seeing this video, I'm seriously having second thoughts about ever doing meth.
54
But that's all my time, guys.
55
I'll see you later in the week.
56

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
